Security Architect defining security architecture standards and controls for Intelance. Collaborating across architecture teams to enhance security governance in a hybrid role.
Responsibilities
Work with Enterprise, Solution, Data and Integration Architects to define the client’s security architecture baseline across key domains (identity, access, network, application, data, logging, monitoring).
Review current security posture for key systems and integrations and identify gaps and risks relevant to EA decisions.
Define security architecture principles, patterns, and controls to be applied at each design stage (HLA, HLD) and at the Architecture Review Board (ARB).
Create and maintain security checklists, design templates, and decision logs used in the EA workflow.
Provide security input into 1-2 pilot projects going end-to-end through the new EA governance process, including review of HLA/HLDs.
Collaborate with the GRC team to ensure EA governance supports relevant standards and frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls).
Advise on priorities for security improvement in the application and integration landscape, and help shape a realistic security roadmap.
Contribute clear, versioned security artefacts into the EA repository (policies, patterns, reference diagrams).
Explain security implications to non-security stakeholders in a clear, practical way that supports decision-making.
Requirements
7+ years’ experience in Security Architecture, Security Engineering, or related roles.
Strong understanding of security architecture domains (identity and access management, network and perimeter, application security, data protection, logging and monitoring).
Proven experience reviewing and influencing system and integration designs from a security perspective.
Good knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or similar.
Ability to produce clear security requirements, design guidelines, and review comments that solution teams can implement.
Comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders (IT, GRC, business) and negotiating trade-offs.
Excellent communication skills in English and comfortable working in a hybrid model (remote plus occasional on-site visits to Casablanca and/or London).
Benefits
Central role in embedding security by design into a new Enterprise Architecture capability for a major engineering and project-delivery group.
Work in a small, senior team that values practical, risk-based decisions over box-ticking.
